biz.yahoo.com Fed may have to review interest rate stance-Meyer WASHINGTON, April 14 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Governor Laurence Meyer said on Wednesday the U.S. central bank may have to review last year's cuts in key interest rates should the economy refuse to slow down and labor markets tighten further. Meyer, widely regarded as one of the central bank's most zealous inflation fighters, told an economic conference the Fed risked unleashing dangerous inflation pressures that could be difficult to reverse if it left rates at too low a level relative to rising growth and falling unemployment rates.

Question is how long this rotation is going to last before the Tech stocks, especially the Internets look attractive again. Don't think too many are going to stay in those boring cyclical stocks while the Internet consolidate and make another run. I know I won't. I'll run with the Inuts anytime, before I fall asleep with boring Gillett and Alcoa. Who long is OPEC going to be able to keep their cheating offenders from dipping in the cookie jar this year. lol !! The Internet sector is like a drug. They will come back for their fix. ROFL !!

Janus Twenty was down 3.6%. OTC Prime index was down the same. NFT Multinational index was down about 2.7%. The big caps got hit the worst. I had heard Janus 20 was drawing in 300 million a month.

PUT/CALL-ratios for today CBOE total: 0,62 individual equities: 0,39 OEX: 2,19 (!) VIX: 27,43 i was hoping that speculation in ind.equity calls would be a bit more restrained today, alas i did not get my wish. call volume expanded by 49,127 to 668,411 contracts and put volume was higher by 21,124 to 258,634 contracts,so the slightly improved ratio doesn't really tell the story. the OEX ratio of 2,19 is about as extreme as it gets. OEX call volume shrank by 9,466 to 54,850 contracts and put volume increased by 28,446 to 119,860 contracts. what's even more astounding is the fact that front-month calls saw heavy liquidation, while open interest on front-month puts actually increased markedly in some strikes. if not for that measly other ratio,i'd call this wildly bullish. the increase in the VIX is once again due to expansion in put premiums. hb
